Charlotte Pipe Pvc 02112 1800HA Pvc Threaded Bushing

Product Description

The Charlotte Pipe PVC 02112 1800HA is a pressure-rated PVC threaded bushing designed to reduce a 1-inch Male Iron Pipe (MIP) connection down to a 1/2-inch Female Iron Pipe (FIP) thread. Manufactured from PVC, this bushing is suited for cold and hot water distribution, irrigation, and general-purpose pressure plumbing systems where a threaded reduction is required. It is a common fitting for plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial water supply lines, chemical lines, and irrigation manifolds. The unit is sold individually but is also available in a package quantity of 50 for higher-volume jobs.

This bushing is used where a 1-inch threaded male outlet must be reduced to accept a 1/2-inch female threaded fitting or valve. Common applications include water supply branch lines, irrigation control manifolds, pressure test assemblies, and industrial fluid-handling systems that specify PVC pressure fittings. It is appropriate for above-ground and buried installations where PVC pressure fittings meet project specifications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers in systems governed by IPC and local plumbing codes.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with IPC or applicable local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply PTFE tape or an approved thread sealant to the male threads before makeup; do not overtighten PVC threads, as this can crack the fitting. Inspect threads for damage before installation and discard any fitting with cross-threaded or cracked threads.
